13 Aug 2013: it's... 1978

Ali loses into Nick Gilder "Hot Child In The City"

[RGMike]

Sniff'LN the Tears. But I bet it wins BOS.

Paul Thomas Anderson made good use of this (and lots of other songs) in Boogie Nights.

indeed, BN is the only context in which I'm willing to hear "Sister Christian".

[RGMike]

and... it was the 45 version of "Hot Child"

LN3 the most-overplayed Broooooce track from Darkness, at least on 10@10.

Bruce Springsteen "Candy's Room"

[CapnJack]

Dave Gilmour "There's No Way Out Of Here"

[RGMike]

Dave Gilmour "There's No Way Out Of Here"

something of a FF over the years; last played in Jan.

wow -- short set.

[CapnJack]

wow -- short set.

That's where the long version of "Hot Child In The City" would have filled some time...

Or a 12-inch version of a disco single...

As 71 is to the 60s, 78 is to the early 80s.

So the '70s were only six years long?  Seemed longer to me...

I agree that '71 belongs to the '60s, and I might make a case that '79 hearkens to the '80s,
but I don't think that '78 resembles the '80s very much musically.
